On a recent getway to the Colorado mountains, we tried out the Katabatic line of day hiking shoes from Oboz Footwear.
We’re not giving up our more rugged hiking boots for steep, rocky trails, and longer duration treks. But for everyday hiking on smooth trails and sidewalks, these shoes are great.
Oboz makes a wide variety of outdoor footwear, from sandals, to day hiking shoes like the Katabatics, to more rugged-condition hikers.
Waterproof styles include GORE-TEX Invisible Fit technology providing enhanced breathability and combining true fit, feel, and comfort. Oboz guarantees they will keep your feet dry in the wettest weather.
Prices range from $140 for the men’s to $170 for the women’s. They come in a variety of colors and sizes. You can purchase at REI and other outdoor retailers.
